Less Stress.

HI, I’M TERRI SCHMIDT.

I AM A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER IN PARK RIDGE, ILLINOIS.

I offer individual, couples and family counseling. I’ve done extensive work in corporations before starting my own practice. Corporate training and consultations give me good insight to issues facing people in the workplace. I am trained in the ways physical health affects mental health. I have also done doctoral research in gerontology and mental health.

“THIS IS HOW I CAN HELP YOU.”

Family life and work life demand every minute of your time. How can you take care of yourself and your relationships without jeopardizing anything? Perhaps you need an outside opinion. Someone who is well trained and can be both objective and compassionate may make a world of difference. In addition to being a certified employee assistance professional, I am a parent effectiveness trainer. I know first hand how you feel – I have been married to the same person for over 25 years and have two adult children. I have walked the road that you may be walking now.

Prior to starting private practice, i was a department head for a multi-state healthcare corporation. I’ve done extensive corporate consulting. I know work issues well. I am also trained in physical health as a doctoral candidate in public health. I am certified in advanced clinical hypnosis, which may help in stress management.

Your first session will be a very thorough assessment of the physical and emotional problems you may be experiencing. Things like sleep problems and a poor diet may be causing symptoms of depression, for example. You will have a treatment plan in place after your first session.

If you feel empty, or just less than satisfied with your life …

If the work, relationships, hobbies and other activities that used to provide you fulfillment no longer do so …

If you’re looking to transition into more meaningful activities but can’t seem to find the motivation to explore your options …

I can help you.

I will provide a supportive and engaging environment in which you can determine and define your goals and work towards achieving them practically and effectively.

If you are aware that your business is spending more time managing difficult employees than achieving business goals, please contact me. We can discuss the services that I provide.
